Early years practitioner

About you:
You’re the kind of person who lights up around children. You’re calm, nurturing, and know how to create a space where little ones feel safe, supported and excited to learn. You understand that every child is different. The best care comes from tuning into their needs.

You’re either qualified at Level 3 or working towards it, and you're looking for a role where you can really make a difference. You're drawn to Montessori-style values. Giving children freedom within structure, encouraging independence, and showing them respect at every stage.

Your experience:
You’ve spent time in a nursery setting, and you know what good care looks like. Warm, consistent, responsive. You’re confident with the EYFS, happy getting involved in planning and routines, and understand the importance of observation and reflection. You’re the kind of person who notices when a child needs five minutes of quiet or an extra scoop of encouragement.

What you’ll be doing with your experience in this role:
You’ll be helping to build something really special. Mini Montesaurs is a brand new nursery with big heart. You’ll be part of the core team shaping how it runs, how it feels, and how children experience their time with us.

From setting up calm, beautiful learning spaces to supporting snack time conversations and encouraging independent play, you’ll help create a safe and inspiring environment every day. You’ll be trusted to bring ideas, take initiative and do what’s right for each child in your care.

About the company:
Mini Montesaurs has been founded by experienced childcare professionals who believe in doing things properly.

With love, patience and purpose. Inspired by Montessori principles (and yes, that’s where the name comes from), the setting is built around respect, curiosity and calm. Based right in the heart of Cheadle Village. We want to become a valued part of the community.
A place where children feel safe, families feel welcome, and practitioners feel proud to come to work.
